Stellenview Premium Wines adds to its Kruger Family Reserve range

The Kruger Family Reserve, which forms part of Stellenview Premium Wines’ portfolio, has extended its range to include a Rosé.

The Kruger Family Reserve Rosé 2022 joins a stellar range of award-winning wines. Initially meant for export purposes, the wines soon found favour in the local market, and the recent addition will no doubt become a firm favourite.

Made from 100% Shiraz, the wine is a beautiful light Salmon pink in colour, with aromas of violets, citrus, and peach blossoms on the nose. These aromas carry through to a palate bursting with flavours of sweet fruit and floral notes, resulting in a rich and subtle wine.

Perfect for everyday enjoyment throughout the year, the Kruger Family Reserve Rosé 2022 is the ideal food wine and enhances flavours when served with seafood dishes and even soft cheeses, such as brie or goats’ cheese.

Currently only available online or directly from the Le Grand Domaine Enoteca Wine Library in Stellenbosch, the Rosé sells for R155 per bottle.

As an introductory special purchase this stellar wine is also available online at R620 per case (just over R100 per bottle).

COOKING TIME

45 MINS

This week I’ve been working with the South African Stone Fruit Industry to create a dish which showcases their wonderfully sweet peaches and nectarines. These beauties are counter-seasonal, so are in our stores now until June.

In preparation for the weekend I have taken inspiration from a traditional Moroccan Tagine which gets its richness from the combination of meat, spices and dried fruits, slow cooked in a traditional clay pot. My familyfriendly version uses chicken thighs and fresh peaches and nectarines and is quicker to cook than its traditional namesake.

I’ve created this recipe so that it can be cooked easily at home, but there’s no compromise on the rich flavour you associate with a Tagine, combining the gentle spices and chicken with the subtle sweetness of the fresh fruit.

The South African fruit industry works with SIZA (Sustainable Agriculture in South Africa) to constantly evaluate ethical compliance and environmental risks. The production and exportation of stone fruits help boost local communities and with the help of the government, growers are helping to provide education, housing and farm management opportunities for workers. And the vast majority of South African fruit growers choose to ship their produce to the UK, rather than flying it.
